We provide communication & feedback to referring physicians

For surgical candidates: If requested by the patient's primary physician, we can provide a thorough pre-operative screening and assessment. We have a team of hospitalists to provide pre-operative assessment. A pre-operative assessment consult is especially essential for high risk surgical candidates and out-of-state patients.

Post-operative care: At the request of the surgeon, our team of hospitalists can provide post-operative management of surgical patients.

Complete report: A complete report will be provided to the patient's primary physician to ensure on-going care continuity by the primary provider.

Timeliness of service: Patients who are seen in HealthEast EDs are scheduled same day or next business day. Patients seen in the ED will receive a next business day ED phone call from the Kidney Stone Institute RN for follow-up of care.

KSI Achieves First-in-the-Nation Certification

First in the nation certification

The Kidney Stone Institute is the first ever to be awarded disease-specific care certification by The Joint Commission for kidney stone disease.

This certification affirms that HealthEast's approach to patient care is consistently delivered across the most essential venues of care, from quality to patient experience.

How this applies to kidney stone disease

Kidney Stone Disease has historically been a source of frustration to patients and health care providers, largely due to the episodic nature of attacks and fragmented care delivery systems without clear measures for success.

We have employed the core principles of The Joint Commission Disease-Specific Care Certification Program to guide restructuring the way we deliver care for the patient with stone disease.

Working with The Joint Commission, we created the framework for the first program to achieve Disease-Specific Care Certification for kidney stone disease.

Equip our patients for long-term self-management through accurate diagnosis of risk factors and appropriate education. We aspire to deliver this level of care to all patients, all the time. We are always looking for opportunities for improvement. The Joint Commission regularly audits our program to ensure we continue to adhere to our program and uphold their standards.
